So bring your own score if you have one, or borrow one as you enter the church. Or, if you prefer, just come and enjoy the music.

No rehearsals are required, but there will be an open rehearsal on Saturday, December 19 at 2:00 PM at the church. For more information, call 985-7192 or email tommac@hawaii.rr.com .
